(120) وَ ذَرُوا ظاهِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَ باطِنَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ الْإِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِما كانُوا يَقْتَرِفُونَ
120. " And abandon outward sin and the inward one; verily those who commit sin soon shall be recompensed with what they used to commit."
Commentary :
Since some people usually commit this unlawful action (fornication) hiddenly, following that meaning, in this verse, as a general law, the Qur'an says:
" And abandon outward sin and the inward one; ..."
It is said that at the Age of Ignorance some people believed that fornication was not a vice when it was done secretly, and it was considered a sin when it was committed manifestly.
Even now, in the present century, there are some persons who have practically accepted this logic of the Age of Ignorance, and they fear committing only the outward sins. Such people, having no feeling of incommodity, easily commit some hidden sins. The above-mentioned verse seriously condemns this logic.
Then, as a remembrance, the verse warns the sinners to the evil fate which waits for them, and says :
"... verily those who commit sin soon shall be recompensed with what they used to commit."
